          Great experience
          Maggie was a great tour guide. She is very friendly and informative. The tour packs in a bunch of sites in a day. Maggie even helped me plan what to do with my other day in Beijing.

          Visited Tiammen square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall!
          Maggie was wonderful! We had a great experience. She is very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend her for any booking a tour. Even though the day ran long because of traffic she performed a tea ceremony! Excellent experience!

          Historic Tour of Beijing
          Lucy is an exceptional individual, both professionally and personally. One of her standout qualities is her excellent communication skills. Her passion for Chinese history shines through in her conversations, where she not only shares her deep knowledge but does so in a way that makes the subject engaging.

          From the moment our guide for the day Lucy met us in our hotel Lobby this was just the start of a Fantastic , memorable and informative day . Lucy spoke fantastic English and her knowledge of the sites was second to nome in he way she explained the history and stories for each site has inspired us to Delve more into Chinese history .. let’s hope the last emperor is a movie choice on the flight home If you are in Beijing and thinking if doing this trip my advice is you must you will truly regret it if you don’t and if you are lucky enough to get Lucy as your guide it will Turn out to be the best days you have had in Beijing Thanks again Lucy Mark and Lukasz (uk)

          Visit to Forbidden City was perfect, we had enough time to explore the most interesting areas of the palace, also the weather wos beautiful. The most important was that we had perfect tour guide Angela. She was full of enthusiasm and she was more than super interesting.

          Wonderful Beijing Tour!
          The entire Beijing day tour was fantastic. The Great Wall of China and Forbidden city were both unique and beautiful! Our guide Lucy was not only knowledgeable and thorough but also very pleasant and a great photographer! She made the tour even more wonderful! Highly recommend this tour!

          Amazing day trip to see three iconic places!!
          When we did this trip, Lucy was our guide. She is amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. She really makes sure that you can do what you want to do on this trip. For example, we did this on a holiday. Traffic was busy. But Lucy and the driver did all they could to make sure we would have enough time on the different stops. Really really loved that! And let's be honest, such a luxurious way to do a trip like this. We were picked up at our hotel right on time by a very comfortable and spacious car (including bottle of water). We were driven to the Tiananmen square, had plenty of time there. Lucy made sure entering went smoothly and fast. We walked to the Forbidden City, in which Lucy explained tons of stuff. And when we were done, the driver was already waiting for us to take us to lunch. Great local lunch. Then on to the Great Wall. To be honest, one of the most impressive things we've seen. So if you want to visit these three iconic places (and I recommend you do), I would say this is the best way to do so!

          Wonderful experience great day!
          Lucy was amazing. Picked us up on time from the hotel. Very knowledgable and very patient taking pictures throughout the day. Also Lucy has wonderful English which made it easy for the day. Lovely lunch after a detailed tour of the forbidden city and then a wonderful visit to the Great Wall. A private driver made it all so easy. Could not recommend Lucy more. Thanks for a great day Lucy!

          Great insightful experience
          We had a great day with Kevin as our guide. We were picked up on time and taken straight to Tiananmen where we managed to dodge the queues and get straight in. Kevin taught us about the history before we carried on to the forbidden city. After learning about the history we went for lunch and then to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Again, everything was very smooth and efficient and it made our trip extremely relaxing, we couldn’t recommend Kevin any more.
